Colin Greenland's first published book was a critical look at
the New Wave, based on his Ph.D
thesis, The Entropy Exhibition : Michael
Moorcock and the UK New Wave (1983). His most successful
fictional work is the Plenty series that started with
Take Back Plenty and continued with Seasons of
Plenty (1995), The Plenty Principle (1997) and
Mother of Plenty (1998).

Besides his work on fiction, Greenland has continued to write
non-fiction books and has been active in the Science Fiction Foundation,
as well as serving on the editorial committee of Interzone. He's been a guest
speaker at four separate Microcons: 1988, 1989, 1993 and 1994.
